About this Activity

Extra, extra, find out about New York City’s power, wealth, and history in a short afternoon. On this walking tour, learn the history behind America’s financial epicenter through stories about Morgan, Carnegie, and Rockefeller along with standing on the sights at the New York Stock Exchange and Federal Reserve. Traveling through the financial district, you’ll discover the origins of Wall Street as a Dutch shipping center and its transformation into global wealth and finance. Still more, you’ll visit the somber scenery at Ground Zero, which includes a viewing of the World Trade Center Memorial and the construction of Freedom Tower. Of course, no trip to Wall Street is complete without a stop at Delmonico’s restaurant, where power brokers go to lunch and famous patrons grab a much needed steak. Explore NYC wealth and history through the city’s cobble-street neighborhood.

The tour was great. There was a lot of history and our guide was very enthusiastic! I just wish there was a break halfway through.

In my opinion the best part was the very knowledgeable guide who once was a broker at the stock exchange himself. I really enjoyed hearing about the history of all the buildings in the financial district.

Good tour; plenty of history, from the beginning of NYC to current day. Our guide talked us through the buildings, the history of the markets, the who's who of the area as was and the impact of recent events. Would definitely recommend.

We went on the Wall Street Walk combined with the 9/11 Memorial. The tour guide was fantastic with wall street's history and knowledge of the area. Would recommend this walk to anyone not sure whether to do it or not.

We took this tour with Celia and it was worthwhile. Celia showed us the most important buildings of Lower Manhattan where the NYC's story began, she told us cultural and hostorical information in a professional, clear, simple and not boring way. I really appreciated her approach because that made the tour pleasant and caught our attention. I absolutely recommend this tour because otherwise walking alone trough Wall Street, even with the best guidebook in the hand, you can never understand how NYC passed from being New Amsterdam to the capital of the world. With Celia we also went to 911 Memorial and that gave me the chance to have a connection with a new yorkers and her feeling about those horrible moments.

Travelling with our 16 year old son we all really enjoyed the history of the area. Our guide had lots of interesting information to share and as she had worked in the area she was able to explain how the stock markets work in an easy to understand way.She had also been in the area on Sept 11 so her presentation at Ground Zero was heartfelt and moving.We were very glad we booked this tour!

Having a finance background, I found this tour very interesting because you learned about many of the different sites in New York that have impacted American economy. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and had engaging stories to tell us. I also enjoyed that this tour took you into the 9/11 Memorial. I wish that we had a bit more time in there to reflect and take everything in, but I was glad that we were able to skip the long line since we were with the tour! Keep in mind that this is a rain or shine walking tour, so don't forget your umbrellas!

The tour was awesome. We both really enjoyed it. Our guide was very informative and we learn some things we did not know. Ours was coupled with a Ground Zero tour. It was nice being able to pass the long line. I would highly recommend this tour.

My fiance and I maked 6 -8 tours/activities with our NY Pass during our stay in NY at the beginning of Mai. The Wall Street & 911 Memorial Tour was for sure the very best tour of them all - even though we had the worse weather that day - that only shows how competent and interesting our tourguide and the tour was. Thanks a lot . BR T & K

I really recommend this tour, it was full of history, facts and details about wall street. It was so interesenting for a tourist.

This tour was much more informative than I had expected. I thought the tour would be only on the financial aspect of Wall Street. I was wrong, the tour guide did an excellent job in taking us through the financial area down to Ground Zero. He gave us a lot of information about the areas. I was very pleased to have headsets so we could hear clearly all of the information. I would definitely recommend this tour, for the price it was a deal.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had lots of first hand experience about the New York Stock Exchange and Wall Street history. We enjoyed the tour with the exception that there were too many people in the tour and sometimes the radios did not work so we could not hear tour guide. Also, the weather was awful, but that was not the fault of tour. However, it would have been nice if we could have switched our tickets to another day, as this was the only day we were in NYC that was snowing/raining.

Steve our guide was knowledgeable and funny. Not only did we learn about the historical highlights of Wall Street landmarks, the tour included an organised and hassle free visit to the 9/11 memorial site. I'd definitely recommend it.

This tour was fantastic! It was well-paced and we got to see so many wonderful things in the financial district. Not only was our tour guide knowledgeable about the history of the area, but had first hand experience due to being an experienced financial analyst. Ned was fabulous and pointed out so many unique things on this tour. We got to see Wall Street, the Stock Market, the Trinity Church, Bowling Green, and went into the 911 Memorial Site. Definitely worth the extra money and time. Overall, a well planned tour with personal hearing devices.

We were pleased with the tour time being at 3 PM, as this meant we could still have a full day doing other activities, have lunch, then head off to the tour.

A very friendly guide met us and started showing us around Wall Street. The tour was an interesting mix of financial history and American history which are both very intertwined. Having been to Wall Street before I didn't realize how much I had missed in terms of little details. Doing a tour is definitely the best way to truly understand this integral part of America.

The only disappointment was that Anneline did not give more personal encounters, having worked in the Wall Street, This would've been a nice touch.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 90 minute tour with Ned. Very knowledgable and engaging. Probably one of the best walking tours we've done anywhere as it is so full of Information and takes you to parts of the city you'd never normally go to. We got our tickets through the New York pass which is a fantastic option if you are in the city or 2-4 days and are a bit of a culture vulture like us. It finishes by ground zero and we got free passes for the 911 memorial on line.the tour only operates on certain days and booking ahead is highly recommended.

Vimbly is the best! It is super convenient and makes trying new things easy. The classes they link you up with are extraordinary facilities that exceed expectations. I could not be happier after discovering Vimbly. A++

I have taken two tours with Vimbly and am looking forward to many more in the future! They have a wide variety of opportunities, many of which I would never have thought of doing. Both tours that I attended were well organized, interesting, and fun. I look to Vimbly for ideas and activities when I want to find something fun to do.

Karen R.

Used Vimbly 3 times now: booked a Knife Skills class at Institute of Culinary Education, booked tickets to Improvised Shakespeare (HOW DID THEY EVEN GET ACCESS TO THESE???), and booked tickets to an Improv show at the Upright Citizen's Brigade. Really simple and efficient way to find something to do and book it right away without ever having to pick up a phone. I like that you can search by date and also category.

Amanda K.

As far as a rating, I'd absolutely give your site a 10. It's easy to use, easy to find whats upcoming, unambiguous and concise. It's something my mother could use without calling me seven times with questions. I've already pointed some friends to the site, and you can be sure I'll be using it in the future.

I already have recommended it to a friend! Several in fact. The site is such a good idea and I love how the people at Church Street knew we were coming and treated us like their own customers and not coupon redeemers. My girlfriend and I will definitely be going back there and are already looking on your site for what to do next weekend.

Evan W.

Easily one of the best dates I've been on, and I have Vimbly to thank for the idea. Planning to use it again while I'm in the city for the next month, and already reminded my coworkers about it.
